q Fathers Good Advice.

The Nashville Union publishes the facsimile ofth following letter, written by the venerable father Of TelAlcssee's new governor, Hon. Bob Ia, Tor. and received by him on the day of his inauguration It is worthy of reproduction, and IS as follows:
 HAPPY VALLEY, Jan, r, 1SS7.- Hon. R. l.. Taylor-My dear son: AS you enter today on your official career as governor ot Tennessee, l want to say few things by way Of encouragement aud warning.
 As public officer your rules to success, or failure, just in propor- ton to your observance or non observance of certain simple rules.
 1. Learn all your duties.
 ?. Then promptly aud fearlessly discharge them.
 3. In every transaction be gov erned by the (D requirements of the law, @ by the demands of an enlightened conscience, (3) sane toned by the exactiOns of the su- preme divine code.
 f. Let no temptation, however fascinating and attractive, however plausible, induce you to ignore the requirements of your selfrespect, or to forget that the eye of God is always upon you and that the re- cording angel unerringly journal izes our lives, and that the record will meet us on judgment and de- termine our eternal fate.
 ,. Let your promises be few and strictly performed.
 6. Don't forget that the eyes of jealous rivals, false friends and open enemies and their eyes are open to all you say and do-there- fore think much and often and let your words be few and well chos- en.
 [, In all questionable cases choose to say and do those things that are clearly right and never doubtful.
 s. Remember and forget not that all the material treasures of thls world cannot restore a bankrupt character or replace ruined repu- tation.
 g. Do right under all circum- stances, even at the sacrifice of place, power and the prospect of wealth, and if it keep you poor to the end of life.
 10. Place your hand in the hand of Jesus and beg His guidance and protection in every condition and contingency of life, and may the love and peace of God be with you alway. Affectionately your father. N. G. TAYLOR.
